Something Different

No car so I couldn't get to Rotary Park. So had to go local...

I ran down Bobbin Head Road until I found a park. The warm-up was 4.5km in 20 minutes.

I was running wide around a football field. I did one lap as a warm-up and to mark out my route. I started with a 4 lapper, with one lap recovery. Then 3 laps, 2 laps and 1 lap - again with a lap recovery between efforts. I then repeated the set for a second time with a lap recovery to finish. All up that's 29 laps (1+4+1+3+1+2+1+1+1+4+1+3+1+2+1+1+1).

Splits were: 4:23, 3:14, 2:08, 1:00 and 4:19, 3:12, 2:05, 0:58.

Good to see all the times in the second set quicker than the first. I estimate the lap to be 320m so not mega quick running but a good hit-out all the same (it was quite awkward making the sharp turns around the field).

Finished with a 4.5km run home. All up that's 18.3km. I ran in the DS racers again and I'm liking them.

I've been invited to run in the K-Swiss A team for the half. They are providing some free gear which is handy.
